headache gone, now here comes the rain

after a nice, long shower at 2 in the morning, i had a writing session last night. i wrote 5 poems, all of which i like. i typed them up this afternoon. the only problem with me writing late at night is i have a hard time falling asleep. my brain doesn't like to be turned off. that's why i always play music at night, hoping to distract my brain and then get some rest. 4 hours a night doesn't really cut it.

for National Poetry Month, i give you:

House of Lies was funny last night. it really made me miss the days where i'd get fucking stoned out of my mind. Silicon Valley was fucking hilarious. Veep was hilarious as well. sadly, i believe that is much closer to reality about our government than it is to fiction. finally, Last Week Tonight was brilliant once again.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Gotham. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the night.

the New York Yankees play tonight down in Texas. i doubt i watch much of the game.

i did listen to the latest Sam & Cathy podcast this morning. i highly recommend you checking it out.

the sun was out for most of the day. i did see my uncle get out on his scooter for a little bit. i don't know how much longer he'll actually get to enjoy that.

i did all my household duties in the last 2 days. cleaned the toilets, put away the dishes, vacuum the whole house. hopefully mom will notice when she gets back.

heard from my first girlfriend this morning that she's moving to Virginia next month. i told her to keep in touch but i doubt that happens. the one thing that amazes me as someone who has never had many friends to begin with, just how easily adults grow apart from their friends. of course, i probably wouldn't notice this problem at all if i had gone to college and had those friendships to build on. instead i was working in a factory, falling in love with the wrong people and writing poems hoping someone would publish them. lord knows, i never liked the easy way of doing anything.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. i may be a little moody this week. it's coming up on the one year anniversary of my father's death. i need to get out to the cemetery and be sure to take my camera. i'd like visual proof that fucker really is gone.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
